A Dubai real estate developer has unveiled the latest phase of a 1,200-home community, with sales expected to be brisk.
Meraas has announced the eagerly awaited launch of over 200 new homes at its exclusive standalone villa community, The Acres.
This release caters to the high demand for eco-conscious, nature-inspired living, following the success and sell-out of more than half the community in the initial launch.
The Acres in Dubai
The Acres is a serene, luxury residential development in the heart of Dubailand, offering a unique neighborhood that blends indoor and outdoor spaces, providing a nature-centered lifestyle for discerning buyers.
Featuring 1,200 contemporary three to seven-bedroom villas set among lush gardens and lagoons, these bespoke homes offer open-plan layouts with double-height living spaces.
Panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows allow for natural light, and each home includes expansive rear gardens and outdoor rooms.
The entire community is designed to offer an elevated living experience, with a focus on environmental sustainability and a deep connection to nature.
With the release of over 200 additional three, four, and five-bedroom villas, ranging from 3,048 sq ft to 6,001 sq ft, Meraas is expanding the opportunity for buyers to join this highly sought-after development.
Khalid Al Malik, CEO of Dubai Holding Real Estate, said: “The strong response to The Acres’ initial release highlights our vision of creating vibrant, community-centered destinations that foster a sense of belonging and well-being.
“This new launch builds on that success as we continue to offer innovative spaces that connect with nature and set a new benchmark for refined living in Dubai.
“The latest release will also emphasize energy efficiency and water conservation, reinforcing our commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility.”
